The Vaccine War is a documentary (2010) produced by [[Jon Palfreman]] and Kate McMahon. The documentary displays medical minds versus those against vaccination. Vaccines are seen as one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine, but for regular Americans, vaccines have become controversial. Young parents are concerned at the sheer number of shots — roughly 26 shots to combat 14 diseases by 6 years old — and follow alternative vaccination schedules. Other parents go further. In communities like Ashland, Oregon, up to one-third of parents are choosing not to vaccinate their kids at all. This is the vaccine war: On one side supports scientific medicine and the public health establishment that advocate for vaccines while the latter is a coalition of parents, celebrities, politicians and activists that are anti-vaxxers |

The Vaccine War begins with a newborn baby girl, Rachel Murphy, immediately receiving her first shot against [[hepatitis B]] already being less than one hour old. This would be the first of 35 shots she will receive within the first six years of her life to battle 14 diseases. Vaccines are held as one of modern medicine's greatest achievements by public health doctor's as vaccines have raised life expectancy by about 30 years<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sjbpublichealth.org/200-years-public-health-doubled-life-expectancy/|title=200 years of public health has doubled our life expectancy|last=Ninde|first=Claire|date=2017-04-03|website=San Juan Basin Public Health|language=en-US|access-date=2020-03-05}}</ref>. Vaccination benefits are as seen clearly in the eyes of medical minds like Melinda Wharton who works for the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]]. However, vaccination has been losing ground as parents across America have decided to either alter the vaccination schedule or not fully vaccinate their children. In December of 2014, America experienced a major [[measles]] outbreak, a disease that had been eliminated 14 years ago at that time<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/history.html|title=Measles {{!}} History of Measles {{!}} CDC|date=2019-02-25|website=www.cdc.gov|language=en-us|access-date=2020-03-05}}</ref>. The efforts to track down the individuals those the infected came in contact with is a tedious and expensive process. Similar to the 2014 measles outbreak, in 2008, there was a measles outbreak in San Diego where the diseases entered from abroad. The origin of this outbreak comes from a 7 year old who returned home from a vacation in Switzerland. The 7 year old spread the disease to siblings and classmates, thus leading to a further spread of the disease. The choice of not immunizing individuals was determined to be what allowed measles to re-enter communities of non-immunized children. |

In states like California, parents were able to find a loophole to not vaccinate their children through a personal belief exemption. Personal beliefs would bypass the "requirement" of vaccination to enlist a child in school, whether the belief be due to religion, customs, etc. |

The [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] has found communities where parents do not vaccinate their child or alter the vaccination schedule. A prime area the CDC found was Ashland,Oregon. Jennifer Margulis, a parent living in Ashland, is against vaccination. Margulis has a Ph.D. in English; with her platform, Margulis began to write about vaccines where she published an article in ''Mothering'' magazine, a magazine that promotes natural lifestyle. Margulis began to question why children are given so many vaccines, comparing times in the 1970s to current times. Margulis, like many other parents in Ashland, has decided to not fully vaccinate her child, as she sees getting sick as not bad. Ashland has an exemption rate of 25.4% as of March, 2016<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ashlandchild.org/vaccine-info/ashland-stats/|title=Ashland Oregon Vaccine Statistics|website=Ashland Child|language=en-US|access-date=2020-03-05}}</ref>, which is much higher than the state average. As a result of low vaccination rates in Ashland, the community is at risk to contract serious diseases. In contrast to parents in Ashland who disagree with vaccination, there are parents, like Lorie Anderson, who enforce vaccination. Anderson expresses that avoiding immunization is "an outbreak waiting to happen." |

Emilio Emini, the head of [[Pfizer|Pfizer inc]].'s vaccine operation supports the standpoint of vaccination, as he believes that those who choose not to vaccinate have become too smug, and in turn put their children and themselves in danger of disease. Again, the viewpoint on vaccination differs greatly depending on each person. Dr. [[Paul Offit]], a pediatrician and co-creator of the vaccine for [[rotavirus]], states that vaccination has become more so a matter of faith, but as time goes on, faith within parents is diminishing. [[Arthur Caplan]], a professor of bioethics at [[New York University Langone Medical Center]] adds that the diminishing faith may be due to the invisibility of the diseases being vaccinated. The risk of not vaccinating is not thought of because parents are not seeing children being devastatingly affected mumps or polio for example. |
